Vinod Kumar said that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao is paying special attention to the development of villages.

He explained that the government will construct social welfare buildings in villages like Vaikunthadhamals, rural nature forests, and dumping yards. He recalled that CM KCR installed the world’s tallest 125 feet statue of Ambedkar in the heart of Hyderabad and named the state secretariat after Ambedkar. The two leaders also announced a grant of Rs. 20 lakh for the construction of the village panchayat building at Elkaturthi Mandal center.
